A meme comparing the reality of applying for a driver license to the polished LinkedIn narrative of applying for a driver license. In the reality image, a man walked into a driver licensing office and sat down to wait his turn to apply for a driver license. In the LinkedIn image, a woman is standing in the driver licensing office looking confident. She brought all the right documents with her. The LinkedIn-style caption says she scheduled an appointment for maximum efficiency, using D.O.L.'s online tool to develop a comprehensive documents plan and ensure a successful license application.

We accept walk-ins, but making an appointment will save you time. For maximum efficiency, plan ahead at dol.wa.gov and make sure you have everything you need for a successful visit.
